Up for sale is a 1969 Triumph Bonneville Bobber. Matching numbers bike. New tank & petcock.New black leather solo seat with springsNew taillight with license plate holder.New coils & plug wires. Beautiful springer front end with 21" disc wheel. Special spacers & washers to make this fit on a Triumph neck without any alterations to the frame. Front (Avon Venom sz 80/90-21) tire & rear (Dunlop Gold Seal sz 4.00-18) tire are in near new condition. Runs on a Mity Max ignition system (no battery reqd). It does have a battery box fabricated if you chose to go this way. The bike starts, runs and rides fine. Shifts nicely through all the gears. BUT - (yes, there's a but) - a few issues to address: the head gasket leaks, some of the head fins on the left side are broken off and it leaks oil (mainly from the head and rocker boxes on the left side). BUT - (yes, there's another but) - The good news: I bought a Bonneville head to replace the current one. It is included with the sale of the bike. My plan was to have it replaced and while it is removed, it would be very little addition time & money to redo the cylinder - bore it one size up and put in new pistons & rings and this way you would have a brand new top end! There is still some work to be done on this bike. Please look at the pictures closely. Clear Ohio Title. At this time I have way too many projects so a few have to go... Any questions, let me know.
